How so? I'd really like to know. I've heard people repeat this but no one has had the knowledge to explain why.
The exact same rules and regulations would just have been in place a bit earlier.
Yes, we could have gotten a handle on this two months ago, which would have impacted the spread of infection and thus, the death rate. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

By how much? Go ahead and show proof that earlier regulations would have made the economy not as bad.
You wont because you can't. You need to actually show some proof using facts, logic, and reason. But instead you say things to say things and all to often you've been proven wrong. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?
Op's political fervor has gotten the better of their ability to look ahead at how the death toll could be more than a couple hundred old people if we don't nip this early.
If this spreads nationally and we just did business as usual, we'd be looking at more like a few million dead people.
Oh wait, I get it! Is this the OP's plan to fix social security?
At this point we do not know exactly who is vulnerable. There are reports of healthy younger people ending up in ICU on ventilators. If they survive, some have lung damage. There hasn't been enough time yet to know if their lungs will ever heal.
The damage done to survivors can be terrible. I remember my my great aunt Isis who survived influenza a hundred years ago as a young girl. It was why she had false teeth at the age of 15 supposedly, respitory problems her whole life and only one child.
My point is, with the nature of this virus, with it's 2 week incubation period, it's apparent fast mutation rate we're in for a beating. Don't make other aspects of it worse.

Why wont the "flu shot" that Japan has come up with help take care of this and reduce the numbers? Granted maybe it only works on healthy people like Japanese.

However, this is the "real deal". We just had a medical staff meeting about this. All of the precautions and measures taken are 100% appropriate. The only way this crisis turns out better than the Spanish Flu is through aggressive policies to curb the spread.
This is a real medical crisis and people should understand that it is not an overblown hoax. We just banned elective surgical cases to preserve resources; gloves, masks, and gowns are already in short supply. Discussions were made of using the anesthesia machines in the OR as ventilators and using the OR rooms as urgent (ICU rooms).
Hospitals and physician practices are not committing economic suicide for nothing. Think about that for a few minutes.
If our government had taken this seriously a month ago we could have mitigated the economic effects...
what more did you want the government to do??
trump closes down travel to china...and the fascist liberals scream racism
